Thanks for the input fellas. Just to be clear though, it seems to be dirty ammo, and not a dirty rifle that is causing issues. I can pretty much run indefinitely on 5 round mags. I'll definitely try polishing as recommended. I like cheap fixes, and I imagine this will help with all forms of shootin...

Why are you putting a reservoir tip on your can? Something to do with escaping gasses?

Alright, the research assistant returned my call this evening. Apologized for not calling back sooner, but stated she is on vacation this week and only signed today for a few hours and was notified to contact me. Not sure why they couldn't just refer me to whoever is taking her calls but OK. I told...

I am certain that means he would never gleefully and maliciously destroy your life just for fun, then. I was under the impression they were paid contractors and not direct employees of the ATF? The agent that did my last inspection showed me his badge and Federal ID. Having been in public safety fo...

I got a *delay* letter this morning telling me that I need to make corrections on my F1. It's a F1 silencer. There are no mistakes on the form. I'm going to call them Monday, but damn? https://i.imgur.com/He8CNqs.jpg?1 1. It is not being made from a pre-existing receiver or manufacturer. So, I list...

I like S&B subsonic 22 LR. It stays subsonic in my suppressed pistols and rifles and I buy it by the case. Winchester subsonic is pretty good but louder than the S&B. Aguilla subsonic, when I can find it in Alaska, is about equal to the S&B in quietness but costs me a little bit more bec...

Well, I sent it off to AAC and it just returned today. From what I can see, they did nothing at all. Just shrugged and sent it back. Spoke with CS, and she says there's no notes at all, and the tech that looked at it is now on vacation. All I have is the American Eagle 124 subsonic and some Speer L...

Come to Leesburg, Florida this Saturday to see products and shoot with suppressors from multiple manufacturers! I will be there showing off all of my products. Event Details: https://tinyurl.com/suppressedfest2018 Here is my page where you can see my latest line of mount and front cap wrenches for ...

I've chewed out an Octane 9mm cap. Once it was nicked, I shot on and traced it to double tapping faster than the piston could lock up. http://i67.tinypic.com/wcodg2.jpg I can't find where they sell the 9 cap for the Octane 45 anymore. Did you get it from the special run from Silencer Shop or did it...

I'll try it on my Blackouts, maybe the heavier bullets fly straighter.

I've had an Obsidian .45 since they came out. Love it and how quiet it is. I like to use foamy spray white lithium as an ablative. That stuff makes any can sound better. Anyway I bought a 9mm end cap when I could get one, already had the piston and put it on my Sig MK25 with a factory threaded barre...

I specifically use 147 grain rounds listed at 985 fps, so there shouldn't be any chance of environment bringing the rounds supersonic. I'm looking for a loud "thwack" instead of a medium "bang!". There's more to quiet ammo than just velocity. Different powders burn differently a...

Go shoot it outside. Federal American Eagle 147 subsonic ammo sucks... it's inherently loud. You have a good platform for testing suppressors, it's what Tyler from Silencer Shop uses a lot of the time in his videos. I think it's that you are shooting it inside. Even shooting outside at the range, wh...

Strongly suggest that you sell your GM-45 for whatever you can get for it and buy a Liberty Mystic X, or a Cosmic (more versatile, has a core hole big enough for .45), an AAC Tirant 9M or 45M (again, more versatile as it, is designed for .45 but easily and efficiently shoots 9mm), a Rugged Obsidian ...

The Rugged Surge can't be beat. As another member often quotes "I don't care what your chart says" so I say the same about testing of suppressors... especially from the companies that sell them. I have retained excellent hearing through my many decades and I and my friends know what we lik...

I still believe that AAC is wrong on the baffle issue. I can't find anything where they could not rebaffle or recore a suppressor. Send it to someone else next time. I believe any SOT manufacturer can help do the job. I could be wrong, but AAC may have been holding out due to the liability of the l...

They Can Not shorten the tube to less than what the length of the complete unit is listed on your Form 4 or Form 3. This would constitute "making a new suppressor" and you would have to get a new tube with a new serial number and pay another $200. If they did it, then the ATFness falls on...

Just ask AAC to shorten the tube for the remaining baffles. That should end the pissing contest. He did! Dec 8 @ 2048hrs. They Can Not shorten the tube to less than what the length of the complete unit is listed on your Form 4 or Form 3. This would constitute "making a new suppressor" and...

For God's sake how do I include pictures in post or private messages to help people see what I'm talking about?

[quote="Heavy_D"]Good evening all, This is my first suppressor and I will not be identifying the maker as I'm not here to bash anyone. I suspect the problem is mine (my expectations) and not the manufacturer. I do not go for white glove clean, but I want to remove all build up down to the ...

I recently picked up a GM-45 and am more than happy with it. The 3 other people who have shot it thought it sounded pretty good to. Quite frankly, I read this thread after I purchased the GM-45, which really freaked me out about the quality of the series of suppressor. That said, given the posted h...

Gemtech hasn't returned any calls from last week. I had a long phone conversation with Bender today, and have no doubt my GM9 will really perform when he's done with it. I'm shipping it to him tomorrow. I know it'll be in good hands. What was the end result of you talking with SR? Did you send the ...

I'll give you a nickel if you can get gemtech to tell you who makes it for them. We both know good and well that gemtech doesn't. Sorry, that was sarcasm. Just buy some CCI. I did buy, ahem, a bit of CCI standard when it finally became available up at normal prices here after Sandy Hook fever died ...
